Crossword Genius

Vessel in dock (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

basin

This clue is a double definition.

'vessel' is the first definition.
(basin is a kind of vessel)

'dock' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for basin that I've seen before include "Washbowl" , "Depression in the earth's surface" , "River-drained area" , "Land drained by a river" , "Stoup" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
